About the Author

Tanya believes that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity, that the easy is for losers, and that a day without laughter is a day wasted. She finds much joy in reading and writing, and strongly believes in the power of literature as a means to growth, education, and the cultivation of curious, compassionate human beings. She hopes her books contribute to that end.
